[SOGo] Downgrade Thunderbird from 7.x to 3.1

2011-11-02 Thread Paul van der Vlis
Hello,

Are here people with experiences to downgrade Thunderbird from 7.x to
3.1?  My goal is to use the Sogo address book plugin.

When it's possible to use it with Thunderbird 7.x I am interested in
experiences too.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.

If your account e-mail is imap, you can de-install TB7 and re-install 
TB 3.1 without problem

No, when one of our users accidentally upgraded to TB 7 we found issues using 
Sogo Connector  Lightning Inverse. 

To fix, we simply put the previous version (3.1.9) back on.

To be fair, I haven't bothered putting TB 7.x on my work machine because the 
Sogo Frontends only shows the add-ons for TB 3.1.x  TB 2.x

But in Thunderbird there is more then only IMAP mail. There are
accounts, there are filters, there is learning data for spam, settings,
signings, identities, etc. And also downloading imap mail can take some
hours when you have much mail.

That's the reason that I am intereted if it is possible to uninstall TB7
(without removing it's configuration data and mail) and install TB3.1.

Paul van der Vlis.

I did it with TB5 and TB6 (updated by accident) and hat no problems. But
I have no filters (they are server side) and no spam lerning data
(server side as well). All other data were used as before the update.

Thunderbird upgrades itself on Windows. Maybe the user has to click on

Yes - but I cant explain how. We had a rogue package management system. 
People would upgrade their thunderbird using the internal upgrade system 
and our wpkg system would downgrade them back to 3.1. The only thing it 
would break is their addons that may have been upgraded at the same time.

2011-11-02 Thread Brendan Murtagh

Did you do a downgrade or a new install?

We uninstalled Thunderbird 7 and reinstalled TB 3.1.9, but we do not use a 
program like Revo Uninstaller to do additional cleanup. This should preserve 
the account settings, etc. and be automatically recognized when Thunderbird 
launches again.

When it was a downgrade: did you see any problems?

We didn't see problems doing the downgrade, we needed to get the user back to TB 
3.1.9. If we ran into anything severe, I assume our techs would have completely 
uninstalled Thunderbird+Add-ons and started fresh. The email accounts are IMAP and 
Cal/CardDAV are used to pull the calendar data  address book from the server 
so uninstalling client-side doesn't impact our user's.
